Sorry for not keeping this thread up to date, Anyway, they've had a few more session and are about to go back after the Easter break, so I thought I should update this. Also
umbralwalker.
1st Session - the group headed off to the village to investigate, they met up with Octavier and promptly told him he was useless as he didn't have all the answers that they wanted. They then went into the Village to ask the people there if they had any information (which is what they had been asked to do by the Queen), the first house that they went up to they ripped the door off the hinges, frightened the occupant and then tried to repair the door. A bad start but they then went around the village asking question without terrifying the residence.
2nd Session - The group was directed towards the shipwreck and found filthy water, dead animals and a whole host of treasure lying around, Octavier informed them that any magical items that were on the ships inventory were not there. One of Sorcerers decided to float an almost dead seal behind them encase they could find it some help (technically it's still floating behind them as she hasn't mentioned she has left it behind). They was about to go into the cave when a crazed and bleeding Locathan swam out of the cave and attacked them.
3rd Session - They finished off the Locathan and a bunch of sharks came to investigate the blood in the water (Octavier mentioned that they must have smelt the blood and came to investigate).
4th Session - This session was just a shark fight, as it took the whole session Karina ended the fight after they killed one of the sharks and the other two were badly injured.
5th Session - They investigate the mouth of the cave and have to navigate through an patch of water that had a load of Aboleth mucus 4 of them failed and ended up with slime on them (two Selkies, a Mermaid and the Atlantian).
6th Session - Heading further into the caves they discovered a section that went into part of the cave that had no water, it was a bit higher than the rest of the cave and it had been given walls and floors by who ever had built it, it was now however inhabited by goblins. They stole some of the goblins treasure, discovered that those who has failed to swim through the slime safely was unable to breath while out of the water, so they tried to lure the Goblins into the water, they eventually managed to kill the Goblins and continued. The next area they were ambushed by a Darkmantle, which dropped down on top of them and managed to grapple half of them from the start of the fight.
7th Session - Continuation and end of the Darkmantle fight.
8th Session - The group reach the end of the cave and find the Aboleth, one of the group charged at it and went right through it. The Aboleth's illusion spoke to the Atlantian revealing that the Atlantian's racial power was telepathy, The Aboleth promised to grant her, anything she wanted, her hearts desire, on the condition that she become it's slave and do anything it wanted of her. She declined and the Aboleth's illusion dissapeared saying that they will never beable to get the magic items they seek now.
So, next session they will be going back to the Queen to tell her that an Aboleth has the magic items, the queen will reveal that they will never be able to defeat an Aboleth and that they will have to 'call in all the favors they are owed'.
So the next few sessions are going to be going to find various large creatures and recruiting them to help fight the Aboleth. The plan is that each child will control a giant creature as if their PC was riding the creature into battle, leading into a Monster VS Monster fight. Which should be very exciting!
So far, for monsters to recruit, we have got...
A Kracken (Possibly also a Giant Squid, but not sure if they would be too similar)
A Dragon Turtle
A Hydra
So if anyone has any idea for any more large creatures for the PCs to control, were down to 7 children now (from 8), we could always double up on some of the creatures if need be, but I would quite like to have one each for the kids. I still need to have a look through the MM though.
